Earlier this year, my husband and I were presented with the chance to make our home in an urban “micro” space. As we initially considered it, it seemed crazy. Would we even make it a week without going mad? Living room, kitchen, office, dining room, all in one small four-walled space.
There were a number of other potential options. We could move out into the suburbs like most people do in our extraordinarily expensive city and have a small yard maybe even a basement. But there was something about this neat “tiny” home that aroused our interest, which challenged us. We like to live differently from the crowd, to avoid what everyone else is doing “just because” everyone else is.
“Let’s try it for six months. If it makes us crazy, we’ll move. We can do anything for 6 months,” my husband said. It was challenging squeezing into the space at first, but then something caught us by surprise. We started having a ton of fun with our tiny space.
In the past, sometimes we had quite different ideas about which art or decorating style we found appealing. But here, in this tiny space, we found ourselves having a ton of fun exploring possible options. There’s no room for clutter(凌乱的东西), either. This is a gift!
It’s been 8 months, and we’re staying. Perhaps forever. When a space is this small, you don’t need to spend much in furnishing it, and you can’t keep endlessly buying things. There’s nowhere to put them!
This leaves us more financial resources and more time to go out into the much bigger world and enjoy life. For us, living in a “tiny” home has filled us with a feeling of abundance. It’s so much better than feeling weighed down, paying for a big space and more and more things. I highly recommend it.
24. What can we learn from the words of the author’s husband?
A. He didn’t like to stay in the small space.
B. He made up his mind to stay in the small space.
C. He was uncertain about living in the small space.
D. He encouraged the author to live in the small space.
25. What do we know about the author’s experience from the text?
A. It was depressing but inspiring. B. It was challenging but interesting.
C. It was disappointing but touching. D. It was embarrassing but rewarding.
26. What’s the main advantage of living in the small room to the author?
A. She could enjoy life more. B. She could avoid the crowds.
C. She could clean the room easily. D. She could enjoy a feeling of freedom.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. A new trend of living B. The joy of living “tiny”
C. Save space, save money D. Make good use of space
C
Rivers are the veins of the Earth, transporting the water and nutrients (营养物) needed to support the planet’s ecosystems, including human life. While many nutrients are essential to the survival of life, there is one element transported by water in rivers that holds the key to life and to the future of our planet — carbon.
Carbon is everywhere and understanding the way it moves and is either released or stored by the Earth system is a complex science in itself. Carbon starts its journey downstream when natural acid rain, which contains carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, melts minerals in rocks. This helps transform carbon dioxide to bicarbonate (碳酸氢盐) in the water that then flows in our rivers. This is a very long process, which is one of the main ways carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere. Carbon is transported by rivers to oceans and once that carbon reaches the ocean, it is stored naturally in deep sea sediments (沉淀物) for millions of years.
As carbon travels down a river, different processes may impact whether it continues to flow downstream or whether it is released into the atmosphere. For example, human engineering, like extensive dam construction, will result in dramatic changes to how water and sediments travel down the river. Some carbon that fails to reach the sea may return to the atmosphere in some way, which causes more warming.
Earth’s climate is closely related to the carbon cycle. We all know about the essential role of plants in consuming carbon dioxide, but do we know enough about rivers? Changing the chemistry and the course of rivers may have significant impacts on how they transport carbon. Remember: wherever we live, we all live downstream.
28. Where is the carbon in rivers originally from?
A. The atmosphere. B. The rocks.
C. The acid rain. D. The upstream areas.
29. Why is human engineering mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To show how important to life carbon is. B. To explain how necessary it is to build dams.
C. To show how a natural process is interrupted. D. To explain how humans fight global warming.
30. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. We’d better move upstream to live. B. We should protect plants along rivers.
C. We’d better seek more help from plants. D. We should be cautious about river management.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. What Humans Do with Rivers B. How Rivers’ Transporting Carbon Counts
C. What the Carbon Cycle Means to Us D. How Living Downstream Affects the Earth
D
Panic Buying
Shoppers around the world are crazy buying because of fears over the coronavirus(新型冠状病毒), which caused a critical plague in China and even other countries at the beginning of 2020. People in countries such as England, Japan, Singapore and Australia have been emptying supermarket shelves of toilet paper, face masks, hand wash products and dried and canned food. Photos and videos of shoppers in Australia quarreling over the last pack of toilet roll in a supermarket have spread across social media swiftly.
However, governments have advised their citizens that there is no need to “panic buy”. They added that panic buying would only reduce the supply of products needed by patients and medical staff, which could exacerbate the problems the COVID-19 virus is causing. Singapore's prime minister comforted Singaporeans that: “We have enough supplies. There's no need to stock up.” A week after the panic buying fever, things have calmed down and shoppers have gone back to purchasing items in normal quantities.
Psychologists say panic buying is an “unwise” behaviour that is part of a condition called FOMO - the fear of missing out. Dr. Katharina Wittgens said a herd mentality(从众心理) sets in during disasters that causes people to copy the actions of others. People watch the news of items being bought in quantity and immediately rush out to the stores to do the same. She said people were taking on too much the risks of dying from the coronavirus. She said: “Far more people die in car accidents or household accidents per year but we don't panic about these things in the morning before we go to work.”
32 What made shoppers in different countries crazy buying?
A. The approach of 2020 New Year’s Day.
B. The shortage of resources and supplies in their nations.
C. Their concern about the virus.
D. The discount from supermarkets.
33. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. solve B. release C. worsen D. quicken
34. What is the reason for this behavior according to expert?
A. People tend to follow others’ actions in the period of disaster.
B. People are wiser in making decisions.
C. People think no one needs the supplies.
D. People do not believe what others said.
35. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A. People should not panic over the virus. B. More people die from car accidents.
C. People buy little when they go to the stores. D. We should panic about the situation.
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Most Americans love Chinese food. However, the Chinese food served in most American restaurants is very different from the authentic cuisine enjoyed daily by people living in China. ___36___Then many Chinese immigrants had trouble landing a job in America. To make a living, some of them opened restaurants. Over these years, Chinese cuisine has been adapted to reflect Western influences.
___37___The Chinese food found in Western restaurants is mainly cooked through frying. Many dishes are cooked using various frying methods. However, traditional Chinese food is rarely cooked through frying. Instead, methods such as baking, steaming, boiling and fermenting (发酵) are more commonly used.
Another big difference between authentic and westernized Chinese food is the ingredients used. ___38___ Some ingredients — like carrots, onions and tomatoes — are not often used in authentic Chinese cooking. In addition, while you can find some Western cuisines that use strange meats — like pig ears — most Western cultures are pretty conservative about the meats they consume. Authentic Chinese food, in contrast, uses a wider variety of protein sources, including tofu, snake, chicken feet, duck blood and many more that Westerners generally wouldn’t choose to eat.
___39___Sweet and Sour Chicken, for example, has no equivalent（同等物）in traditional Chinese cuisine. Similarly, the fortune cookie is a completely American invention.
Indeed, there are numerous differences between authentic and westernized Chinese cuisine, but Western palates (味觉) adapt to new flavors easily. ___40___
A. The history of westernized Chinese food started in the mid-1800s.
B. Westernized Chinese food features vegetables that are common in Western cuisines.
C. There are so many regions of China, and they all prepare their dishes a little bit differently.
D. So it may only be a matter of time before authentic Chinese food becomes popular in America.
E. Many of the most popular Chinese dishes in the West are not served in Chinese restaurants at all.
F. Deep frying food is quick, which is why you can usually get your Chinese food in just a few minutes.
G. One of the main differences between authentic and westernized Chinese food lies in cooking methods.

Earlier this year, my husband and I were presented with the chance to make our home in an urban “micro” space. As we initially considered it, it seemed crazy. Would we even make it a week without going mad? Living room, kitchen, office, dining room, all in one small four-walled space.

Rivers are the veins of the Earth, transporting the water and nutrients (营养物) needed to support the planet’s ecosystems, including human life. While many nutrients are essential to the survival of life, there is one element transported by water in rivers that holds the key to life and to the future of our planet — carbon.
Carbon is everywhere and understanding the way it moves and is either released or stored by the Earth system is a complex science in itself. Carbon starts its journey downstream when natural acid rain, which contains carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, melts minerals in rocks. This helps transform carbon dioxide to bicarbonate (碳酸氢盐) in the water that then flows in our rivers. This is a very long process, which is one of the main ways carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere. Carbon is transported by rivers to oceans and once that carbon reaches the ocean, it is stored naturally in deep sea sediments (沉淀物) for millions of years.
As carbon travels down a river, different processes may impact whether it continues to flow downstream or whether it is released into the atmosphere. For example, human engineering, like extensive dam construction, will result in dramatic changes to how water and sediments travel down the river. Some carbon that fails to reach the sea may return to the atmosphere in some way, which causes more warming.
Earth’s climate is closely related to the carbon cycle. We all know about the essential role of plants in consuming carbon dioxide, but do we know enough about rivers? Changing the chemistry and the course of rivers may have significant impacts on how they transport carbon. Remember: wherever we live, we all live downstream.
28. Where is the carbon in rivers originally from?
A. The atmosphere. B. The rocks.
C. The acid rain. D. The upstream areas.
29. Why is human engineering mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To show how important to life carbon is. B. To explain how necessary it is to build dams.
C. To show how a natural process is interrupted. D. To explain how humans fight global warming.
30. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. We’d better move upstream to live. B. We should protect plants along rivers.
C. We’d better seek more help from plants. D. We should be cautious about river management.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. What Humans Do with Rivers B. How Rivers’ Transporting Carbon Counts
C. What the Carbon Cycle Means to Us D. How Living Downstream Affects the Earth
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. B
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要描述了河流对于运输碳的重要性以及人类工程对河流的破坏，号召人们要小心河流的管理。
28.考查细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“Carbon starts its journey downstream when natural acid rain, which contains carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, melts minerals in rocks.( 当含有大气中二氧化碳的天然酸雨融化岩石中的矿物质时，碳就开始了它的下游之旅。)”可知，河流里的碳最初来自于大气。故选A项。
29.考查推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段内容“For example, human engineering, like extensive dam construction, will result in dramatic changes to how water and sediments travel down the river.( 例如，人类工程，像大规模的水坝建设，将导致水和沉积物如何沿河流流动的巨大变化。)”可知，提到人类工程是为了说明前一句内容“different processes may impact whether it continues to flow downstream or whether it is released into the atmosphere.( 不同的过程可能会影响它是否继续向下游流动或是否释放到大气中。)”，从而解释了人类的干预性。故选C项。
30.考查推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“Earth’s climate is closely related to the carbon cycle. We all know about the essential role of plants in consuming carbon dioxide, but do we know enough about rivers? Changing the chemistry and the course of rivers may have significant impacts on how they transport carbon. Remember: wherever we live, we all live downstream.( 地球的气候与碳循环密切相关。我们都知道植物在消耗二氧化碳方面的重要作用，但我们对河流了解的够多吗?改变化学物质和河流的流向可能会对它们运输碳的方式产生重大影响。记住:无论我们生活在哪里，我们都生活在下游。)”可知，作者在末尾段想要传达的信息是人类对于河流的干预会影响它们运输碳的方式，而人类需要在河流管理方法小心谨慎。故选D项。
31.考查主旨大意题。根据文章首段提到的中心话题：While many nutrients are essential to the survival of life, there is one element transported by water in rivers that holds the key to life and to the future of our planet — carbon.( 虽然许多营养物质对生命的生存至关重要，但河流中有一种元素是生命和地球未来的关键——碳。)，且文章内容主要描述了河流运输碳有非常重要的价值。选项B“How Rivers’ Transporting Carbon Counts(河流如何运输碳)”可作为最佳标题。故选B项。

Panic Buying
Shoppers around the world are crazy buying because of fears over the coronavirus(新型冠状病毒), which caused a critical plague in China and even other countries at the beginning of 2020. People in countries such as England, Japan, Singapore and Australia have been emptying supermarket shelves of toilet paper, face masks, hand wash products and dried and canned food. Photos and videos of shoppers in Australia quarreling over the last pack of toilet roll in a supermarket have spread across social media swiftly.
However, governments have advised their citizens that there is no need to “panic buy”. They added that panic buying would only reduce the supply of products needed by patients and medical staff, which could exacerbate the problems the COVID-19 virus is causing. Singapore's prime minister comforted Singaporeans that: “We have enough supplies. There's no need to stock up.” A week after the panic buying fever, things have calmed down and shoppers have gone back to purchasing items in normal quantities.
Psychologists say panic buying is an “unwise” behaviour that is part of a condition called FOMO - the fear of missing out. Dr. Katharina Wittgens said a herd mentality(从众心理) sets in during disasters that causes people to copy the actions of others. People watch the news of items being bought in quantity and immediately rush out to the stores to do the same. She said people were taking on too much the risks of dying from the coronavirus. She said: “Far more people die in car accidents or household accidents per year but we don't panic about these things in the morning before we go to work.”
32 What made shoppers in different countries crazy buying?
A. The approach of 2020 New Year’s Day.
B. The shortage of resources and supplies in their nations.
C. Their concern about the virus.
D. The discount from supermarkets.
33. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. solve B. release C. worsen D. quicken
34. What is the reason for this behavior according to expert?
A. People tend to follow others’ actions in the period of disaster.
B. People are wiser in making decisions.
C. People think no one needs the supplies.
D. People do not believe what others said.
35. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A. People should not panic over the virus. B. More people die from car accidents.
C. People buy little when they go to the stores. D. We should panic about the situation.
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. A 35. A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。面对新冠疫情，世界各地很多人非常惊慌，疯狂抢购，导致超市商场货架空空。政府建议市民没有必要这样做。心理学家也表示，恐慌性购买是一种“不明智”的行为，是人们的从众心理导致的。
32.考查细节理解题。根据第一段第一句Shoppers around the world are crazy buying because of fears over the coronavirus, which caused a critical plague in China and even other countries at the beginning of 2020.可知由于对这种冠状病毒的恐惧，世界各地的购物者疯狂购物。在2020年初，这种病毒在中国甚至其他国家引发了一场严重的瘟疫。由此可知，对病毒的担忧导致不同国家的人疯狂购物。故选C。
33.考查词义猜测题。根据上文They added that panic buying would only reduce the supply of products needed by patients and medical staff,可知他们补充说，恐慌性购买只会减少患者和医护人员所需产品的供应，从而导致恶化COVID-19病毒造成的问题。由此可知，划线单词意思为“恶化”。故选C。
34.考查细节理解题。根据第三段第二句Dr. Katharina Wittgens said a herd mentality(从众心理) sets in during disasters that causes people to copy the actions of others.可知Katharina Wittgens博士说，在发生灾难时，人们会产生从众心理，导致他们模仿别人的行为。由此可知，专家认为造成这种现象的原因是在灾难时期，人们倾向于跟随别人的行为。故选A。
35.考查推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句She said: “Far more people die in car accidents or household accidents per year but we don't panic about these things in the morning before we go to work.”可知她说:“每年死于车祸或家庭事故的人要多得多，但我们不会在上班前为这些事情感到恐慌。”由此可推知，人们没有必要对这种病毒感到恐慌。故选A。
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Most Americans love Chinese food. However, the Chinese food served in most American restaurants is very different from the authentic cuisine enjoyed daily by people living in China. ___36___Then many Chinese immigrants had trouble landing a job in America. To make a living, some of them opened restaurants. Over these years, Chinese cuisine has been adapted to reflect Western influences.
___37___The Chinese food found in Western restaurants is mainly cooked through frying. Many dishes are cooked using various frying methods. However, traditional Chinese food is rarely cooked through frying. Instead, methods such as baking, steaming, boiling and fermenting (发酵) are more commonly used.
Another big difference between authentic and westernized Chinese food is the ingredients used. ___38___ Some ingredients — like carrots, onions and tomatoes — are not often used in authentic Chinese cooking. In addition, while you can find some Western cuisines that use strange meats — like pig ears — most Western cultures are pretty conservative about the meats they consume. Authentic Chinese food, in contrast, uses a wider variety of protein sources, including tofu, snake, chicken feet, duck blood and many more that Westerners generally wouldn’t choose to eat.
___39___Sweet and Sour Chicken, for example, has no equivalent（同等物）in traditional Chinese cuisine. Similarly, the fortune cookie is a completely American invention.
Indeed, there are numerous differences between authentic and westernized Chinese cuisine, but Western palates (味觉) adapt to new flavors easily. ___40___
A. The history of westernized Chinese food started in the mid-1800s.
B. Westernized Chinese food features vegetables that are common in Western cuisines.
C. There are so many regions of China, and they all prepare their dishes a little bit differently.
D. So it may only be a matter of time before authentic Chinese food becomes popular in America.
E. Many of the most popular Chinese dishes in the West are not served in Chinese restaurants at all.
F. Deep frying food is quick, which is why you can usually get your Chinese food in just a few minutes.
G. One of the main differences between authentic and westernized Chinese food lies in cooking methods.

38.根据下文的Some ingredients — like carrots, onions and tomatoes — are not often used in authentic Chinese cooking.（一些配料，如胡萝卜、洋葱和西红柿，在正宗的中国菜中并不常用）可知，B选项中的vegetables和like carrots, onions and tomatoes相呼应，且语义（西化的中国菜以西餐中常见的蔬菜为特色）承接上下文，故选B。
39.根据下文的Sweet and Sour Chicken, for example, has no equivalent（同等物）in traditional Chinese cuisine.（糖醋鸡在中国传统烹饪中就没有类似的食物）可知，E选项的语义（许多在西方最受欢迎的中国菜在中国餐馆里根本不存在）可以承接下文，且Sweet and Sour Chicken和the most popular Chinese dishes in the West相呼应，are not served和has no equivalent相呼应，故选E。
40.根据前文的Indeed, there are numerous differences between authentic and westernized Chinese cuisine, but Western palates (味觉) adapt to new flavors easily. （的确，正宗的中国菜和西化的中国菜有很多不同之处，但是西方人的口味很容易适应新的口味）可知，D选项在语义（所以，正宗的中国菜在美国流行也许只是时间问题）上与前文是因果关系，故选D。

【答案】Dear Tom,
In your last letter, you asked me for several details about the military parade for China's 70th anniversary. So I am writing to provide you some related information.
It is well-known that this military parade was held on 1st, December, 2019 on Beijing's Tian'anmen Square, in which China's national strength was displayed to the whole world. In addition, the success of this parade strengthened Chinese citizens' confidence for their own country. To be honest, this event was extraordinarily attractive and great. What impressed me most were the soldiers' spirit, the consistency of movements and those advanced weapons. With so powerful a nation as our support, I firmly believe that our common people are bound to live a happy and harmony life.
All the above are my opinions. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
